Import Tips
• Label shipment clearly as 'Grand Piano - Climate Sensitive' to ensure proper handling and avoid humidity damage claims
• Verify action type (grand piano mechanism) in documentation; hybrid digital-acoustic models may require different classification
• Budget for additional inspection fees; high-value pianos often undergo detailed customs examination
